Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional Raman spectrometer operations are used, then material composition determination can be achieved, but the operation process is complex and test efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The sample detection process is segmented into multiple positions around the rotating rack circumference. Multiple samples can be positioned at different angular locations and sequentially or simultaneously detected by the laser and spectrum analyzer, enabling parallel processing and improving overall test efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The sample rack is designed to rotate, allowing dynamic positioning of multiple samples relative to the fixed laser and spectrum analyzer. This rotational mechanism enables automated sequential detection of multiple samples without manual intervention for each sample, simplifying operations and improving productivity
2Quantity of substance
If multiple samples are tested sequentially with manual loading, then comprehensive analysis is achieved, but time consumption increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple samples are pre-positioned at different angular positions on the rotating rack before detection begins. This preliminary arrangement allows the system to automatically cycle through all samples without requiring manual loading between detections, significantly reducing time consumption while maintaining the ability to test multiple samples
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating rack enables continuous detection operation by maintaining samples in constant rotational motion through the detection zone. The laser and spectrum analyzer continuously acquire data from passing samples, eliminating idle time between sample measurements and maximizing the utilization of detection resources
